Not all ads actually are known beforehand, but most are. For example, Barack Obama bought last-minute ads to air during the Super Bowl this year. Brilliant move. You can do that when you raised $32M in January alone.
No GNR though. What would they promote? An album that's not even finished. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised, considering how much of a soup sandwich GNR is these days.

Interesting. Possibly a bit of damage limitation on GNR's part there but it wouldn't surprise me if this was true. The whole GNR circus was obviously completely out of control back in 01/02, Axl unsure where to take things creatively, people pulling him left and right to make sure they got their slice of the pie etc. Whilst I'm sure some of those people are still around I think the newest era of GNR activity (06 onwards) was a sign Axl had a bit more control of things. He said himself in 01/02 the band was pushed around and made commitments in terms of tours that he wasn't really ready for, in 06 he was obviously in a much better frame of mind. It's possible things began to change in 04 when he took control of producing the album, but of course BH leaving threw a major spanner in the works which delayed any chance of major progress.
You'll notice Mysteron or anyone else hasn't said this is false, instead he takes a shot at anyone who wishes to talk about it, the first real detailed info about behind the scenes of CD, like the fans won't want to talk about it. All the work in the world can have been done since these loony times but whilst the same songs get mentioned now as the ones back then it makes this article relevent. The CR article is a small portion of the CD saga from someone who witnessed it firsthand, if people don't like it being known what went on perhaps someone should have put a stop to it at the time. As I said it's only a small portion of the CD tale, hopefully Beta's parting comment is right and one day Axl will tell his story.
I can see now why HTGTH distanced themselves from the CR news last month, they obviously knew this was coming.
The bottom line is if Axl had a problem with this article, he would have prevented it from coming out. He didn't have a problem with it and you are right in that Mysteron never denies it's false and decides to say it's gossip for the vultures.
HTGTH won't post this because Jarmo feels it's what Axl and company want and he is wrong. They don't have an issue with it at all because if they did, it never would have surfaced.
How could Axl prevent a magazine from publishing a story? It's called freedom of the press, although I realize it's based in Britain, but same deal.

Hillary is in the lead here, but those poll numbers don't mean much. The only poll numbers that really mean anything are exit polls after voting starts.
Its going to be close.
Yeah, I think you're seeing the affect of Edwards leaving. It's helping Obama, not Hilary. Hilary was the most-polarizing of the 3 Democratic candidates, and people voting for Edwards likely will vote for Obama. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an understanding between Edwards and Obama that Edwards would drop out before Super Tuesday if he was no longer a factor, which he never was.
James, you keep saying you can't support Obama. It sounds like you've made up your mind already. Are you watching the debates and do you know the differences between the two or are you basing your decision on something else? Because if you're not looking into their policies, then you must be basing it on something that doesn't really affect anything. Personality? Experience? Clinton has been a lawmaker a shorter amount of time than Obama. Fact. He has more experience.
#4474 Re: The Garden » John McCain says "I don't really understand economics" » 909 weeks ago
Obama has closed the gap nationally to near the margin of error. Edwards dropping out has greaty helped him, not Hilary. Edwards will not endorse anyone yet, hell Obama name-dropped Edwards in his opening tonight to the debate on CNN. His poll numbers are going up, Hilary's is going down. With still a few days to go until Tuesday, I imagine he'll gain on Hilary even more. Last week I thought Hilary would stomp Obama, but Edwards dropping out gave him a boost, and announcing he raised $32M in January, more than any other candidate, gives the perception that he is the top dog. And we all know perception is often reality.

Leak this motherfucker now.
#4476 Re: The Garden » Florida primary. » 909 weeks ago
McCain will not win the general election. Bank on it. I'm more sure of that than anything.
#4477 Re: The Garden » Florida primary. » 909 weeks ago
Hilary is on CSPAN doing like a victory event. What the fuck is her deal? They aren't even supposed to be campaigning there. The win means nothing, but she's treating it like it does. Do you think Obama will do a concession speech? No, because IT DOESN'T COUNT!
#4478 Re: The Garden » Florida primary. » 909 weeks ago
Florida doesn't count for the Democrats. They really weren't suppose to campaign there, but Hilary did anyway. There's rumblings that the Hilary campaign may try to get the Florida delegates to count in case she loses the nomination. That's called desperation.

I think the MSL story is legit. He kept me, and others, in the loop in the days leading up to it, step by step, on the condition we remained quiet. Most of us did. One stupid fucker decided to leak the stuff before MSL had gotten everything he could, so we'll never know how much more is out there.
